Basic Emotions
Here are the Basic Types of Emotion as defined in Merriam-Webster Dictionaryand
Dictionary.com
1. Joy- the emotion evoked by well-being, success, and good fortune or by the
prospect of possessing what one desires.

is characterized by feelings of disappointment, hopelessness, disinterest, and
dampened mood.
3. Anger- it is a strong feeling of displeasure and antagonism.

6. Disgust-it is a feeling of revulsion or strong disapproval aroused by

7. Surprise- the feeling caused by something unexpected or unusual.
8. Anticipation- the act of looking forward; expectation or hope.
In activity 2, you were tasked to give your reactions on the sample situation.
All the emotions listed in letter B are basic emotions. These basic emotions are
normal and important part of our lives. Some of these emotions are positive, some
are negative. A combination of any two basic emotions may result to another emotion.
8
Intensity of Emotions
Emotional intensity refers to variations in the magnitude of emotional responses,
an extreme degree of feeling. Therefore, the intensity of emotion identifies the action an
individual will have. Intensity ranges from mild, moderate to strong.
There are instances when too strong emotion compels a person do something
beyond the normal. A good example is when you unexpectedly receive a gift on your
birthday, you might feel thrilled, others might feel happy, some might feel glad. Is
there any difference with the terms? Yes, the intensity of the emotions.
If you will closely analyze Activity 2, the emotions are arranged based on
intensity. All in letter A are Mild, letter B are moderate, letter C are strong.
Strong emotions should be dealt with caution as it may lead to action that a person
might regret. For example, after feeling ecstasy for winning on the lottery, an overjoyed
person might suffer heart attack. Moreover, a feeling of terror when somebody is trying
to abuse you might end up making you quiet and not speaking or asking help to
adult seven after being molested several times. It is getting common to hear news of a
man or a woman committing suicide due to too much grief of losing a partner, girlfriend
or a boyfriend.
Figure 1.
Robert Plutchik’s Wheel of Emotions
In figure 1, Plutchik describes the inner circle as the strongest emotions, the next
circle are the basic emotions which has moderate intensity, and the outer circle are the
emotions with the mildest intensity
9
Another emotion was created because of a combination of two basic emotions.
For a clearer presentation of the Wheel of Emotions, look closely on the tabular
presentation on the intensity of emotions. Observe that when two basic emotions on the
second circle were combined, it results to another emotion.
In real-life situation, you may observe that before a person falls in love to a
somebody, the first emotion is that they are happy together. While happily getting
along with that person, trust starts to develop, and finally love blooms. It is common
to see friends falling in love with each other because they trust and happy being
together and ends up as lovers.
Now that we have learned the basic emotions and its intensity, let us study why
do we need to control our emotions.
Thalamus
Hypothalamus
Amygdala
Hippocampus
Figure 2. The Limbic System
10
The limbic system controls emotion, memories and arousal. The almond-
shaped section of nervous tissue called amygdala is the center of emotional
processing. It is responsible for the perception of emotions such as anger, fear, and
sadness, as well as the controlling of aggression. It stores value judgments we make
and memories of behaviors that produce positive and negative experiences.
For example, while walking alone on the dark alley, you heard footsteps. Your
reaction might be to walk faster or run with your best speed. This reaction results from
prior negative experience while walking alone in a dark road, perhaps you’ve watched
the same scene on television. The amygdala stores the memories of what you
experienced or what you’ve watched. Then, it gave you judgment that something bad
might happen to you, thus you feel fear, and react by running fast.
Emotional intelligence is defined as the capacity to be aware of, control, and express
one's emotions, and to handle interpersonal relationships judiciously and
empathetically. Therefore, it is the key to both personal and professional success."
For Goleman EI is the ability to: 1) Recognize, understand, and manage our
own emotions; 2) Recognize, understand and influence the emotions of others. This
means being aware that emotions can drive our behavior and impact people either
positively or negatively. Then, it is essential to learn how to manage those emotions
especially when under pressure.
11
Based on Goleman’s study, how a person react in a situation may influence others
and affect efficiency. Therefore, a person must avoid making decisions when under
pressure, feeling down or when experiencing too strong emotions such as when so happy
or very angry. It may lead to wrong or inappropriate decisions and actions.
Look at these questions presented earlier. If you answered yes in each of the
questions, then you are already practicing the essential elements of emotional
intelligence in the past without knowing it.
Do you Yes No
a) know that your emotions and actions may
affect others?
b) control your emotions not to verbally attack
others?
c) enjoy the learning process and persevere in
the face of obstacles?
d) you work hard to see things through others’
eyes; put yourself in someone else’s position?
e) inspire others and induce desired responses
from them?
